Before today, I didn't know obesity was a national security issue; but it is.

The Penn Guard's 23% obesity rate is typical.
The American Security Project says obesity is "an epidemic that impacts our national security":

If you want to speak freely here, and elsewhere, I suspect it may be important that you block people who come here to do nothing but attack. That's what I've been doing, and while I'm still throttled, I do reach my peeps and am not depressed by pushback by the trolls and bots.
That's because I just block them. I think a fair number of them really are just literal bots. They're not here to change your mind. They're here to battle.

There are more or less rational people who present you with arguments. That's OK as long as it stays polite and respectful.
Occasionally a jerk with many followers shares something of mine and their low-info followers descend. I just take the time to block them, making it clear that I'm doing so and why. Problem solved.

You have no obligation to engage with jerks. I give you permission to block 'em.

1/ Tucker's right:
- The Hunter Biden laptop and what it indicates about the Bidens' Ukraine, China, etc. (!), dealings
- Bobulinski's testimony, documents, cell phones, etc.
- FBI confirmed it started investigating HB in 2019
- More
The media hides this.

2/ Tucker's right to point out that this means that the media are acting in a way hostile to your interests. It is now glaringly obvious that they gleefully lie and misrepresent reality. If they do so when their job is to report the truth, they have contempt for you.
3/ Let's be clear. Of course you've known for a long time that left-wing reporters are hostile to conservatives. That's not the point. The point is that they will openly misrepresent reality if it serves them. The mask was hanging by a thread, but it is completely off now.

Poll: Are all religions equal?

(a) Yes, they're equal in merit; each has something to teach others.
(b) No; my own religion is superior to that of others in truth (or goodness, or some other high value).
(c) Yes, they're equally worthless.
By popular demand, two more poll questions.

If you think all religions are equally good—why?
(a) Truth is radically subjective/unknowable
(b) While truth is not entirely subjective, different religions have their fingers on different parts of the elephant
(c) I'm not sure
If you think religions are *not* all equal, why don't you?
(a) I believe mine is best.
(b) There is a gradation among religions; you could put them in a ranking of accuracy or goodness.
(c) Some might be equally OK, but some are really, really bad.
(d) Not sure.

The reality of anti-child trafficking on the ground, right here in central Ohio. Horrible. At least this batch was caught, but how many more are there?

dispatch.com/story/news/cri…
Sheriff Dallas Baldwin said the Franklin County Internet Crimes against Children Task Force arrested eight people who had come to the central Ohio area with the intent of meeting a minor for sex.

"Anybody who wants to come to central Ohio and prey on our children, ...
we’re watching, we will catch you and we will put you in jail," Baldwin said.

The sheriff said of the eight men arrested, none of them showed remorse for their actions and were defiant.

"One of them actually winked at the camera as they were being led off," Baldwin said. 🤮

KAboom du jour

Emails: Top Democrats, not just Joe Biden, were “targeted” to sell major infrastructure like the Tappan Zee bridge to a Chinese billionaire connected to the Chinese military. China experts say the Bidens “endangered U.S. national security.“
justthenews.com/accountability…
With cooperation by Democrats, ChiComs were going to finance major infrastructure pieces of the U.S., which I guess they’d own I’d economic hardship caused us to default.

Hoooooo boy. #Treason if so. And the booming isn’t over. What will we find out tomorrow?
I’ll bet we’ll discover some of these deals went through. The Chinese have financed a lot of real estate deals (the sort Trump would know about!) all around the world, now haven’t they? They own a lot of our debt...

So that was fostered centrally as part of a military plan?
